doctor doctor gimme the news

Today's post is brought to you by Dr. Champagne. I think this will make it quite obvious why many others just call him Dr. Fabulous.

Of course I emailed him yesterday with the news so far, looking for guidance, reassurance, something.

Here's what he had to say:

Chances are very good if the beta doubles well, as it has with you!! 
Often with FETs the first beta is a little low and this does not matter at 
all.

I look forward to the next one and hope this little pregnancy keeps going 
strong!!

And, yes, the exclaimation points are all his. I heart him.

Now I'm just trying to pass the time until Thursday. Even my therapist suggested a forced coma or something. We have let Hope into our house-she's being a quite considerate guest so far. I think she knows she's treading on thin ice so she's being very very quiet. And cleaning up after herself.

The mister and I were incredibly touched by all of your comments and good wishes. He read them last night and it means so very much to both of us.

He also felt a need to clarify the whole "42 is my favorite number thing." At the risk of being blogged about.

Like many of you I thought it was because of that fantastic book. Oh, no, my geek is far geekier than that. When he was very young his parents got a digital clock. Not the led kind but the kind where the numbers flipped over. I guess there was a super cool font on those numbers. That looked especially good on :42. Any :42. So there you have it.

Now of course he loves the number 67. Yep we've been listening to a lot of September 67 in our house the last day or so.

(I have my own thing about numbers and vastly prefer even numbers to odd ones. I love very even multiples of 4. And some multiples of 12.  I think I might have mentionned my high school cheer before. For those of you who missed it here it is: Secant, tangent, cosine, sine. 3 point 1 4 1 5 9)

You guys are too funny!!

And I agree - Dr Champagne is absolutely Dr Fabulous. There couldn't be a better one, and I SOOOO wish he was personally monitoring me - no one here in the states (at least that I've found) lives up to him!!

Glad to see Hope is a houseguest. Keep her around!

16 is my personal favorite number...love how its 4 4's, 2x2x2x2...perfection. Even numbers are way better than odd, and the dh's fave is 27.

Best of luck from one nerd to another!

oh. my. god. I am in a state of total and complete controlled (not by much) excitement for you and E. Can't wait for Thursday's update, I know it is going to be a good one. Wow! I want my own Dr. Fabulous . . . :-)

[InSpring]

So, you're a little bit pregnant and he's a little bit rock and roll (?)

Can't wait until we can all breathe a sigh of relief!!!

[Red Headed Momma]

That was your high school cheer? You NERD!!! NERD LOVE! NERD LOVE!

Anyway, what a doctor! Is he McDreamy?

This is so wonderful. My mister and I are so very hopeful for you. We're checking your blog constantly!!

[susie]

I love your cheer. Also, I am crazy about even numbers. You will never catch the volume on my car stereo on an odd number. NEVER EVER.

And I'm really pulling for you over here!

[elana]

we're all about the numbers over here.

i didn't get to comment on your last post, but then i saw that your comments were at 67 so i couldn't make it 68! so i'm posting here, but that 67 comments feels very good to me.

very hopeful for you and sending so much love your way!

[statia]

YES!!!! We LOVE exclamation points!!!

I'm so happy for you and I'm guessing hope gets the message too.

One more win for the infertiles.

Fingers are crossed.

[Jennie]

I HEART 67 too and exclamtion points rock!!!!!!!!!!!!
very happy for you and hubs :)

[ninaB]

Oh see, I'm on the odd number side. I was thinking that 67 is perfect since 6+7=13 and that is super good number (in my books).
And you next Beta is on Thursday which is what? Well it's the 13th. So everything will be fine. It will.

A girl goes out of town for a couple of days and just look at the news ! Wow, Millie this is so exciting. I'm beside myself and have no idea how you can possibly be waaiitting till Thursday. All the best wishes and hopes !!

[thalia]

That cheer is hysterical. I had no idea how geeky you really were!

[Lynnette]

So glad you're hopeful...so are we! Sorry my phone went dead the kitchen guys cut the power at just that moment (without warning, thanks...) and I couldn't even email you. It looks like a bomb went off in this little house! Take care

[Anouf]

Wonderful news Millie. Good luck for Thursday!! Anoufx

[ankaisa]

Yes, I've read that book, too. And I'm keeping everything crossed for a great number on Thursday.

Very, very hopeful.
